Who's On First?

The Pirates have been moving a lot of personnel around, making deals left and right and clearing the salary decks for some fresh players who have yet to be announced. With Neil Walker on his way to the Mets, Pedro Alvarez out the door, and Charlie Morton saying adios as well, on top of last year's retirements of A. J. Burnett and Aramis Ramirez, and no clear contract extension as yet for Francisco Cervelli, I'm starting to get antsy for next year's baseball season. (Crazy, I know, but I am apparently a baseball fretter. Who knew?)

Makes me wonder who they are clearing all of that salary to acquire?

Reading the baseball tea leaves isn't easy, but it sure is suspenseful this time of year.
